Waters Below
05:25
|
|||
Now we have returned to the land of unseen
Where the rivers flow back to the source
Listen to your fears
How could this be when you thought you would be free
You're not the only one to question everything
I sleep in the waters below
I pray to the moon above
Each thought is dirt and the matter of mind
Is made of chains of 'who am I'
I sleep in the waters below
I pray to the moon above
And remember ye shall see
no brighter fire
Than the flame that burns to ashes
your desire

Flat Circle
05:40
|
|||
The crowns of gods and mortals wither
Moons fade where constellations once shone
Nameless aeons brought us hither
Eternity beckons us on
In the circle of time
Black stars shine above
In the circle of time
Gods wait dead but dreaming
Chance is all that brought us here
Yet change is the source of our fear
Hanging by a thread of by gone time
Unaware of the dark of eternal night
The Reason and Law are the bond of great lie
The Silent Abyss speaks to me
The lion greets the rising sun
When Dog Star crowns equinox
Awake now from denial
Face the splendor of the coming storm

Denial/Survival
05:06
|
|||
I woke up in the land of denial
It's true the guilt is all you care for
Seeing you and the rest of your kind
Wallowing in self-pity and mutual rape
Makes me want to
In the minds of the most judgemental men
Among their memories nothing but pain and shame
These then proclaim the law unto mankind
These preach virtue, cowardice in every form
Can you survive your deceit and your lies
The game goes on, you're one more to fall
I've traveled a million miles
Guided by what you told me to despise
But it's a coward's choice to leave love aside
Only in fear that one day the end will come

Hunt
07:08
|
|||
The woods call my name
Face covered in blood
The spirits of the dead
Stir by the rising sun
The memory of fresh kill comes to me
By the light of the moon
You leave this world behind
The wind takes your fear
The sweet siren's song
In the faint morning light
The silver tears of dawn
Wash away your fear
To die we are born
Beyond fragile consciousness
The raging hunger lurks
It makes my senses sharp
Like razors in the night
Cut your silken skin
Your breath belongs to me

True Anarchist
04:23
|
|||
And still you think you know who I am
Despite all the things to you that I have shown
And now you stand with your mouth open
And wonder what kind of a man I am
Your hands how to bind you choose and you cry
When life puts you down with your face touching ground
And whispers to your ear that now you are done
But love, in the darkest moment I
Wait for the day to come
When you open your eyes and see your freedom in disguise
To brave the forest, brave the stone
Brave the burning fields of fire
Is what you need to find your freedom in disguise
Control what goes on in your minds eye
See the truth when there's nothing to admire
Sacrifice yourself for the greater good of the cause
But love, can't you see why still I

Mindlessness Meditation
04:34
|
|||
In the darkness you can find
What you're looking for, just fumble blindly
In life there comes a moment
When everything you've done seems pointless
And that's how it is in the greater scheme of things
But it's a lie, after all, don't you know
Blind yourself with hate and despair
Drown under waves of mindless rage
The evil inside and the thoughts so vile
Blind yourself with hate and despair
In the silence you can hear
All the answers to the questions
You didn't dare to ever ask
|
||||

This is how it begins, the last phase
A thousand step descent into the unknown
The words extend the rays of light
From the shadows a new mind
It's time for you to come before the light takes us
Come, under the moon, come, before the light takes us
And still you are at the back of my mind
Creeping around, a poisonous thought
My fingers touch the sky and it turns to blood
Under an evil sign the shadows gather

Tragic Vision
04:25
|
|||
Time waits for no one
So take what you can
And you're waiting for a sign
To show you all the reasons why
When the shadows fill the sky
It's the nightmares from your mind
We are the last of our kind
With no escape in sight
It takes a life-time to learn
Who you truly are
Still you're waiting for a sign
To show you all the reasons why
We are the last of our kind
Falling through darkness into the light

Resolution
07:13
|
|||
From the desert of your mind dust-devils of doubt rise
On the ground floor of thought bored watching life pass by
Then you begin to realize
all you've been told was a lie
Tear down your madness
The walls you built to keep me outside
Take me into your arms
The lines in the sand are fading
Only you can save yourself
Gods laugh while you try
Desperation gives a meaning to every word and each sign
Scared to death in case you fail you hide your thoughts deep inside
Tear the veils of night
Your soul free now let it fly
Take me into your arms
The daylight is failing
Only you can save yourself
Gods laugh while you try
